  • Kidneys: How They Filter Urea and Waste Products
    The bean-shaped organs that filter urea from the blood are kidneys.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Kidneys: The primary organs responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, including urea. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism.

    * Urea: A nitrogenous waste product that is produced in the liver and transported to the kidneys for excretion.

    * Filtering Process: The kidneys contain tiny filtering units called nephrons. These nephrons filter blood, removing urea and other waste products, while retaining essential nutrients and electrolytes.
